Maybe a Rodney episode...BUT also a Keller episode!

I think that though this is technically a Rodney episode, I believe it is also a Keller episode. We really see Keller like we never saw her before. She is a lot more confident and she takes charge. She is also a lot my dynamic. And Jewel Staite did a great job!

After this episode, Jennifer Keller is a few notches higher in my book. And that puts her at a pretty darn high notch


PS: I think Jewel Staite looked great with her hair down and wavy.

The jump in Keller's confidence was weird to me. She can be nervous and lacking confidence on Atlantis (a basically safe environment), but in a cave on a planet with a wraith outpost/10 000 wraith... she's suddenly confident? I know Rodney's life being in jeopardy factored in, but still...

I cringed at the McKeller ending, the only bad part of the episode to me.

[musicahumana]

There was a snarkiness and snappiness to her character that I really liked.

Yes, definitely a McKay episode. (And a GREAT one.) But they used it to show some growth in her character.

[Vlad]

Exactly! They is a dynamic character. She cares for/loves Rodney. That alone is enough for a person to change how they behave.

I agree, it was McKay-centric but Keller had a very important part to play. I noticed the writers seemed to be trying to address the various criticisms that have been leveled against the character, her having a drink with McKay after Trio, letting Sheppard overrule her in Search & Rescue.

I really think Keller is coming in to her own as a character, and I think Jewel was fantastic in this episode.

[Vlad]

Yep!


And I think her last scene was perfect!

I'm still mixed about a McKay/Keller romance. To me, it wasn't that long ago he was about to propose to Katie, and I wouldn't want this to be some sort of rebound crush on his side.

That being said, I've liked their scenes together, from the snarkiness in Trio to the care and concern in this episode. I also liked that Keller was the only one who thought that McKay could consider a brief return to his senses to be a nightmare rather than a gift.

Jennifer was great in this episode. When everyone else wanted the chance to say goodbye (understandably) for their own sake, Jen was thinking about Rodney and how he'd react. And she was right.

Remember... David/Rodney successfully owns this episode tonight but David/Rodney owns Stargate Atlantis!

Agree

You can see how Keller struggled for Rodney & placed her faith in hard science vs. unknown shrines and the emotional team who wanted a chance to say goodbye. It was like she was the only one to "get it", that Rodney would be horrified.

Absolutely fantastic acting by the entire cast. David Hewlett is made of awesome. So is Jewel

Both great points.

Wait what?

i loved that Mckeller ending

[Lythisrose]

Didn't like the McKeller ending because I'm not a fan of the ship, but I thought Keller was very good in this episode. I like her being a sceptical doctor, but willing to go above and beyond for her patients.

You have to admire her for that.

[fumblesmcstupid]

I don't admirer her! She blew off Teyla and Ronon's Knowledge of this illness!

Rodney was going to die anyway what could it have possible HURT?

Oh yeah thats right it saved him!
